They are borrowing more, piling on consumer debt – credit cards, conventional bank loans, car loans and lines of credit. The average Canadian was carrying $27,131 in debt in the second quarter this year, up $200 from the January-to-March period. According to the Q2 2013 stats, Canadians owe just over $1.63 for every $1 in disposable income they earn in a year (stats canada) adding to more debt The aggregate debt-to-income ratio of Canadian households has trended upward over the past 30 years. Both mortgage and non-mortgage (consumer) credit have contributed to this increase (Bank of Canada Review 2011-2012) There are approximately 9.3 million homeowners in Canada, including about 5.55 million with mortgages.
